London-based digital firm Babylon Health has reported a data breach that allowed a patient to access recordings of another patient’s consultation through the GP at Hand app. Babylon claims the breach only affected a small group of people and was due to a software error rather than a malicious attack. However, the incident highlights the vulnerabilities of telehealth systems and the need for robust cybersecurity measures in the healthcare sector.
